Krisp Launches AI Tool to Convert Indian Accents to American English in Real Time

The beta release aims to improve communication efficiency but raises concerns about cultural identity and ethical implications.

Krisp's new AI-powered accent conversion tool modifies Indian English accents to sound American while preserving the speaker's natural voice and emotional tone.
The tool, now in beta, is available for free use up to 60 minutes per day, with a $15/month plan for unlimited access.
Enterprise tests showed a 26.1% increase in sales conversions and a 14.8% revenue boost, highlighting its potential in professional settings.
Critics question the cultural and ethical implications of standardizing accents and the risks of misuse in phishing scams or deepfake applications.
Krisp plans to expand the tool's capabilities to support additional accents, including Filipino, and integrate it into mobile apps and Chrome extensions.
